Abe Mosseri Eliminated in 11th Place ($129,957)

Abe Mosseri, 11th place
Abe Mosseri, 11th place

Limit Hold'em

After a series of Limit Hold'em hands didn't go his way, Abe Mosseri has become our 11th place finisher.

The first hand saw Mosseri crippled in a hand against Mikael Thuritz. Following a raise and re-raise preflop, the same action went down on the {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Mosseri continued the pressure with a bet on the {2-Hearts} turn with Thuritz calling, before the {Q-Hearts} hit the river. Mosseri checked, and then called a bet but mucked when Thuritz showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Mosseri was down to just 38,000 chips but managed a double up before the knockout blow was landed.

Mosseri was all in preflop against both David Baker and Nick Schulman. There were no friendly check-downs in the side pot as Schulman fired bets on the {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} board to force a fold on the river from Baker. Mosseri thought he was a chance when he opened {Q-Spades}{6-Spades} for the straight, but Schulman showed up with {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the flush to collect the pot to send Mosseri to the rail. He'll collect $129,957 for his 11th place finish.
